The house is about to be renamed Casa Verde, which means green house in Italian. The name fits, as the large lush garden dominates.
The house has lots of windows so even when inside, the view from each room is green, calming and inviting.
Inspired by the tradition and simplicity of Italy, The place has a relaxed elegant feel.
"This elegant coastal getaway is reminiscent of a romantic bygone era where people appeared to have more time and homes more space. Except..... that the fresh, breezy + contemporary feel reminds you that you are in the present. This juxtaposition gives the place its soul and character."
Eliza - 2012
